25. It’s Neuromagic: How Penn and Teller Are Helping Brain Science (and Vice Versa)

A connection between a magical game and brain science, who would have thought that they could so greatly affect each other?  Interestingly enough, they are actually greatly connected, and this article tries to explain how one person discovered how.


On first sight, this article looks fun and enjoyable, but I found that it is a bit confusing and lacks some details that could have made it easier.  Finding the connection between things is always interesting and can cause imagination to flourish, but this article, by Nolan Feeney, just does not have it.  The purpose of the article is to describe the relationship between a magic trick and something scientific, but it does not entirely make sense.  It does, however, bring up how multitasking is practically impossible, and thus, magic tricks can happen.
